HC Deb 20 January 1997 vol 288 cc472-4W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 28 November,Official Report, column 338, if he will list for each health board and NHS trust in Scotland for the (a) 1993–94, (b) 1994–95 and (c) 1995–96 financial years and in total for each of these periods (i) how much has been raised from the sale of surplus property and (ii) how much of this has been reallocated to the health board or NHS trust which disposed of the surplus property. [10965]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The information is set out in the tables.

With regard to NHS trusts, all receipts are retained by the trust responsible for the sale. The expenditure of these receipts is controlled by the external financing limit.

As for health boards, for 1993–94 and 1994–95 all receipts were retained by the board responsible for the sale. Since 1995–96, receipts from the sale of surplus land and buildings by health boards are normally remitted to the management executive and are used to offset the capital programme for the whole of the NHS in Scotland. A case can be submitted by health boards to retain capital receipts. In 1995–96 Dumfries and Galloway health board and Tayside health board retained £3.285 million and £0.15 million, respectively.
